Plasma Crashes On Shutdown

[dave2889]

I'm running Kubuntu 10.04 64-bit fully updated with KDE SC 4.5, and most times when I shut the system down, Plasma comes up with a dialog saying it's crashed, and when I start the computer back up, the taskbar has lost it's transparency, and I have to switch to another theme to get it back. This has only started happening in the last couple of days, several days after I upgraded to KDE 4.5 on a fresh install of Kubuntu.

Dialog that comes up: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5339497/Other/PlasmaError.png
The PID number often changes, I'm not sure if that normal.

Thanks in advance

Open Synaptic (if you don't have it, install it with sudo apt-get install synaptic from a konsole window). Click on the "Reload" button, then reinstall the following two packages (select the package from the list, right-click on it and select "Mark for Reinstall"):

kdebase-workspace
plasma-desktop

I think that fixed it. I've restarted several times, and while Nepomuk crashed once, Plasma hasn't. Thanks for your help!

Is there a way I can mark this thread as solved, like on the Ubuntu Forums?

Just return to your fist post in this thread, click the modify button, and you can add [SOLVED] to the subject line.

It still re-occurs, but less often. Any ideas on what could be causing it, and any solutions other than a full reinstall?
